Band interleaved by pixel (BIP) is one of three primary methods for encoding image data for multiband raster images in the geospatial domain, such as images obtained from satellites. BIP is not in itself an image format, but is a method for encoding the actual pixel values of an image in a file. Images stored in BIP format have the first pixel for all bands in sequential order, followed by the second pixel for all bands, followed by the third pixel for all bands, etc., interleaved up to the number of pixels. The BIP data organization can handle any number of bands, and thus accommodates black and white, grayscale, pseudocolor, true color, and multi-spectral image data.
